A hapless crook tried to steal from a car parked outside a training session for bouncers – who arrested him within seconds.

Our friends at the Manchester Evening News uncovered the story of how ten trainee doormen were learning how to detain troublemakers using handcuffs at The Training Hub on Store Street, Manchester city centre, when dim-witted Nathan Webb slid inside the unlocked Vauxhall Astra in a bid to swipe its sat-nav.

Unfortunately for Webb, the car belonged to a member of staff at the centre, Danny Rose, who saw what was happening from inside the building.
